Please correct me anybody, if im wrong:
It seems to me, that the best results are acheived with approx 85-90%
memory utilization (leaving something to the rest of the system).
(16*512*1024*1024/8)^0.5 ~= 30200, that would close to the best N value
isn't Nb=20 very low? I currently use arround 145 for P4 cpu's
What performance du you get from a setup like the one above?
best regards
Lars
